Is this Syrian? Or are the lines in the fullers of some other origin? Caucasian or similar?

Ottoman...
Whether it was made in what currently is Turkey or Syria, who knows.
Call it from Antakya: Turks and Syrians are still at each others throats to whom does it belong.
BTW, that's where Indiana Jones located the Holy Grail ( even though the Temple is actually located in Petra, Jordan, about 500 km from Antakya..

). Hollywood...

it seems to be late XIX century dagger

also it looks like 3 holes are in the hilt, and if they really are there it's 100% ottoman as it was decorated w/stones
